Cleveland which is about 40 minutes outside of Brisbane City a short 45-minute barge ride over to the island and it's game on [Music] yet I left the name distract you it's only a short 15 minute drive from the barge to a place called Brown Lake it is absolutely stunning it's an inland freshwater lake that is 100% worth checking out while you're over at strategy [Music] [Music] well we've got a little bit of time to kill swifty spent too long doing his bloody hair this morning mr. barge this is too nice to turn down so we're going old skimboard out kill a little bit of time and then we'll go

track and get down onto the beach you know man what's the hair okay so we're making our way north up towards the Amity point turn off just before that you take a right-hand turn onto the power line track that will give you access to one of the last remaining inland full drive tracks we head north for a little bit then we swing in Yui and head back south across the island towards Main Beach triangle track as we call it it's a beautiful 20-minute drive that shows you some of the stunning Hornet and flora that the island has to offer there we go we've come as fast as we can it's a little bit too windy down here we're going to make our way up north to find a nice little campsite Tom's lunch [Music] pulled off just off the beach beautiful water views however we're out of the wind so I think this will be lunch and probably camp for the afternoon pretty chilled out arm I reckon we'll get the boat in the drink and enjoy it I knew all the names jazz well [Music] take it loneliness

somewhere a little bit karma nice it's probably the biggest difference with strata compared to some of the other islands more than Fraser it's a little bit more populated there is pitchman on the island which is a little bit disappointing there's a couple of major parts we've just pulled up for a cold beer and a fade here at the beach club at our Point Lookout beautiful spot for a bit of lunch to see what happens after lunch we might go and do the boardwalk let's play man well I will try and fix this skate so we're gonna have another crack and I'll get a few other toys I'm going to pick up

do not want to lose because someone's getting sent right we'll go first this is a rock rock yes [Music] one thing that we've learnt this year is to take at any with us absolutely everywhere we go it
